Comment:

 This is the cause of a serious speed regression.  Message by Dave
 Loeffler:

 I've found the culprit: this is a side-effect of #11587. If you
 look at [attachment:trac_11587.patch], then it removes a couple of lines
 of code
 at lines 710-712 of sage/databases/cremona.py which sets the
 generators to [] if the gens aren't explicitly in the database but the
 rank is known to be 0. The new version doesn't perform this little
 check and so we waste loads of time doing pointless 2-descents.
